team gb are also guaranteed at least another silver in the boxing. most remaining coronavirus restrictions in wales will be scrapped from tomorrow — limits on the number of people that can meet indoors will end, social distancing rules will ease — and nightclubs can reopen. a fifth of all the uk's covid, hospital patients are aged between 18 and 3a — doctors warn of the dangers facing the young and unvaccinated — we've a special report. firefighters in greece continue to battle wildfires across the country — it's predicted that worse is still to come. and the end of an era — barcelona say lionel messi will leave the club after 21 years — due to "financial obstacles".

gas and electric prices will go up for millions of people across the uk in october. the energy watchdog, ofgem, has confirmed its biggest increase so far to the price cap for domestic deals to cover suppliers�* extra costs. on average, households in england, wales and scotland on standard tariffs will pay an extra 139 pounds a yearfrom october. prepayment customers will see an increase of £153 according to the regulator. the cap, which is reviewed every six months, rose by nearly a hundred pounds in april. charities, such as national energy action, say this latest increase couldn't have come at a worse time, but ofgem insists the changes are necessary because of the rising wholesale costs of energy. ofgem's chief executive, jonathan brearley, has this

message for customers we have a price cap in britain and that... people who do not switch supplier, and what we have done todayis supplier, and what we have done today is because we have seen a record increase in fossilfuel prices across the board, notjust gas and electricity but also petrol and diesel, we have had to feed that through the calculation and into the price cap. what that does is make sure we don't go back to the bad old days where companies charge on fair profits on top of the amount you but when input changes, that limit has to change. our advice is really clear. we know it is going to put people in difficult circumstances and we work closely with charities and we work closely with charities and the customers themselves, we encourage every customer to get in touch with their supplier and make sure they get access to the help and

support which is available to them. justina miltonite is from the comparison website uswitch. the price cap impacts customers on default tariffs who have not switch their energy supplier for a really long time or have moved homes and haven't fixed their deals. the other group of people would be prepayment customers who are usually in a more precarious financial situation already, so it will really affect people who could do with a bit of relief. with me now is peter smith, director of policy and advocacy at fuel poverty charity national energy action. i'm also joined by anthony lyman who's a single dad of two

government political opponents, labour and the lib dems, who are familiarly saying this is one rule for the government and one rule for everybody else. and the greens as well. the green party member in the house of lords said she despaired at their inability to grasp the hypocrisy of talking about a climate emergency and then behaving as normal. in response, the government has defended alok sharma's travel by saying that helping the world tackle the climate emergency is an priority for the government and face—to—face meetings are key to the success in the climate negotiations the uk is leading an advance of cop 26. as you pointed out, there is no suggestion that he has broken any rules, govan government ministers are exempt from quarantine requirements on official business but we are told that they take the required tests and practice

social distancing when necessary in these visits. but there is scrutiny on the extent of his travel in the run—up to cop as i'm sure there will be of all areas of government policy as that crucial summit looms and the government's ambitions for it and its approach to climate change in general come under increasing scrutiny. general come under increasing scrutin. ., ., general come under increasing scrutin . ., ,, general come under increasing scrutin. ., . it's long been feared that one of the most catestrophic results of climate change could be the collapse of the gulf stream. the atlantic ocean circulation system that is responsible for mild temperatures in the uk and europe as it moves warm water from the tropics to the northern hemisphere. now climate scientists have detected warning signs that it could be weakening. i'm nowjoined by dr niklas boers of potsdam institute for climate impact research.

is from solihull and joined aston villa at six and by eating was in the first team. he stayed with them even when they were relegated and dragged them back to the top but as club captain he pledged to stayjust last year and even after 20 years with one team it can hurt to say goodbye. he with one team it can hurt to say aoodb e. , ., with one team it can hurt to say aoodb e. , , goodbye. he is the local boy but i think being _ goodbye. he is the local boy but i think being an — goodbye. he is the local boy but i think being an aston _ goodbye. he is the local boy but i think being an aston villa - goodbye. he is the local boy but i think being an aston villa fan i goodbye. he is the local boy but i l think being an aston villa fan under professional footballer is different and you have that battling mentality and you have that battling mentality and want to do a different thing and he will be 26 next birthday. i think you probably thought it's now or never to make a move. shat you probably thought it's now or never to make a move. at manchester ci he never to make a move. at manchester city he joins — never to make a move. at manchester city he joins sterling _ never to make a move. at manchester city he joins sterling and _ never to make a move. at manchester city he joins sterling and foden, i city he joins sterling and foden, three england team—mates who could claim a league together. coutinho

and hazard have struggled after leaving. jack grealish as a lifelong aston villa fan but at £100 million every player has a price. barcelona say that after 20 years lionel messi is leaving the club. they've released an extraordinary statement, claiming that �*financial and structural obstacles' are preventing him from signing a new contract. messi has been a free agent sincejuly the 1st... with the final year, of his previous deal being dominated, with rumours about his future... but he agreed a new contract with a huge pay cut to stay at te club, but barca though,

say they can't even afford that. celtic are back to winning ways, after being knocked out of the champions league, they beat fk jablonec 4—2 in the first leg of their europa league qualifier. kyogo furuhashi marked his first start with a lovely finish — and the victory in the czech republic gave manager ange postecoglou his first win since taking over. they'll take a handsome lead into the second leg there was a credible draw for stjohnstone in their qualifier in istanbul. they held the former winners of this competition galatasary to a 1—1 draw. jason kerr had put the scottish premiership side in front from the spot, but galatasary equalised two minutes later through sacha boey. declan mcmanus' hat—trick has given welsh side the new saints a great chance of reaching the europa conference league play—offs following an impressive win over viktoria plzen. christian ramirez rescued aberdeen after they'd thrown away a 2 goal lead against breidablik in iceland. his second goal gave them a 3—2 advantage to take back to pittodrie. for all the scores visit the bbc sport website.

that's all the sport for now but you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website, including the build up. you can find out more if the play goes ahead with england versus india in the third test at trent bridge. more on the lifting of coronavirus restrictions in wales. from tomorrow, rules on the number of people who can meet indoors will be lifted, nightclubs can reopen and social distancing laws will be scrapped. face masks will remain compulsory in shops, hospitals and on public transport. the welsh first minister, mark drakeford joins me now. we had the lifting of remaining restrictions in england onjuly 19, restrictions in england onjuly19, want is taken you so long? throughout the pandemic we have taken a different approach in wales,

a more measured approach. we lifted our restrictions on stage by stage when they're confident that public health position allows us to do that. it's very good news in wales but as from this weekend a further set of restrictions will be lifted but coronaviruses not gone away. hundreds of people fell ill with it just yesterday in wales and have done every day. we just yesterday in wales and have done every day-— done every day. we know it is a balance between _ done every day. we know it is a balance between the _ done every day. we know it is a balance between the economy. done every day. we know it is a i balance between the economy and health and perhaps you have that balance a bit wrong because a lot of businesses in wales have suffered really badly because of these restrictions and say they have gone on too long. i restrictions and say they have gone on too long-— on too long. i don't agree with that. obviously _ on too long. i don't agree with that. obviously it _ on too long. i don't agree with that. obviously it is _ on too long. i don't agree with that. obviously it is a - on too long. i don't agree with that. obviously it is a balance | on too long. i don't agree with i that. obviously it is a balance but the need to protect the health of people in wales remains paramount for us. we have supported businesses with 2.5 billion pounds worth of welsh investment over and above the uk government investment in supporting businesses and know all businesses in wales will be able to

cause of persuading everybody to make the changes every one of us will need to make in our own lives to deal with the crisis of climate change if uk government ministers act as though they were exempt from all that. we will need a huge effort, everyone of us will have to make differences in the way we travel, the way we work the way we organise our own home lives. elected politicians have to demonstrate that we too mean business and we too will live up to that challenge, not expect it only applies to other people. expect it only applies to other eo - le. , ., ., expect it only applies to other --eole. ., people. the government have said in a statement — people. the government have said in a statement virtual _ people. the government have said in a statement virtual meetings - people. the government have said in a statement virtual meetings can i a statement virtual meetings can play a part but actually face—to—face meetings, especially when it comes to climate negotiations, are crucial in the build—up to cop26. they also see all the travel alok sharma has carried

ou. the government has announced an insurance scheme worth £750 million to help support the live music sector. it will offer festivals cover if they have to cancel because of covid. more than half of all music festivals have been cancelled this summer. joining me now is michael kill, the chief executive

of the night time industries association. as you can appreciate with cancellations across the summer extremely frustrating for many of had to cancel particularly for many of the businesses behind these festivals, the supply chain and freelancers that have been beleaguered and lost so much revenue over this period due to the cancellations.— over this period due to the cancellations. , �* ., ., ., cancellations. isn't that hard to oruanise cancellations. isn't that hard to organise a _ cancellations. isn't that hard to organise a scheme _ cancellations. isn't that hard to organise a scheme like - cancellations. isn't that hard to organise a scheme like this? i cancellations. isn't that hard to i organise a scheme like this? why could it not done before? it is not straightforward. you have to understand the breadth and scope of this scheme and what business is accommodated on it from small to larger festivals, business events, etc and he is accommodated within this. i'm sure there will be refinements over the coming few weeks which will be dealt with by my colleagues, lloyds and the government but it is a positive step forward. the government have acknowledged the issue and have engaged with the industry under no putting in place strong provision to

ensure that we move forward with confidence. it ensure that we move forward with confidence-— confidence. it must be frustrating for festivalgoers _ confidence. it must be frustrating for festivalgoers to _ confidence. it must be frustrating for festivalgoers to think - confidence. it must be frustrating for festivalgoers to think the i for festivalgoers to think the reason some of these festivals got councils was not because of social distancing rules but simply because of insurance problems.— distancing rules but simply because of insurance problems. insurance has been a big issue _ of insurance problems. insurance has been a big issue right _ of insurance problems. insurance has been a big issue right across - of insurance problems. insurance has been a big issue right across the i been a big issue right across the board from business interruption insurance where clubs and hospitality will challenge and the fca took that up but the insurance policy in terms of getting cover has been a huge challenge for the events and festival sector particularly business events so from that perspective i think the thing people need to understand is there is a huge amount of money going into producing the infrastructure and that pre—emptive money is not covered if there is a closure due to covid our government closure and this is the part where many of these events and festival operators have

not been able to take that risk and the reasons we have lost the likes of glastonbury and boom town over the summer so extremely frustrating it is come this late but it has been delivered and moving into the end of this year next year and once that are able to come on are confident they can move forward and this should be some level of confidence in terms of supply chain, freelance workforce that we can start to plan with some level of confidence for the future. with some level of confidence for the future-— venues across italy are introducing an obligatory covid �*green pass�* from today, meaning access will only be allowed with either a vaccination certificate, a negative test or proof of recovery from the virus. the measure will be extended to universities and transport next month. our correspondent, mark lowen reports from verona. a night at the opera —

tickets, temperature check, and, from today, the mandatory green pass — a covid vaccination certificate, negative test or proof of recovery, as italy tightens its rules from theatres to restaurants, gyms to cafes. this is how it will work in practice. i come into the venue in question. i present my green pass, which, in my case is a vaccination certificate. it�*s verified. this device doesn�*t save the data. i present my id card and i am allowed to enter. it is a big change and be challenge for those involved. nobody told us how to face covid, you know, so at the beginning we were afraid, we were nervous, we were anxious. then, month by month, we saw a new problem giving a new solution, and after 18 months we built a little bit of self—confidence, so let�*s say now that the situation is — it is not a problem. this is another problem regarding covid. tonight�*s treat — aida. ajewel of of verdi.

this ancient amphitheatre in a new pandemic era. verona�*s arena has already adapted to covid. fewer performers, masks, and half capacity. but, with the green pass, the drama has moved stage, too. parliament had to be suspended after protests from far—right mps. and while polls show most italians in favour, vocal demonstrations have broken out across the country. much of the opposition is from restauranteurs — their patience already worn by lockdowns. translation: we shouldn�*t have to police this, it�*s not ourjob, and we shouldn�*t deal with sensitive data. the government will make us

argue with customers who want to sit inside without the pass. we will have to comply but we have already had cancellations. are you no—vax? absolutely not, i am neither for nor against, i am a restauranteur. it has got nasty for medics supporting the green pass. this woman received a death threat through whatsapp, evoking the nazi trials at nuremberg. other messages were on facebook and they came from her colleagues. translation: i really felt in danger. what upset me most was that the threats were from health workers. they, like us, were heroes of the pandemic and now some of them are no—vax. i felt broken and thought about giving up everything, but then i realised i must go on and show them at the arena, too, the show will go on, though with new checks

for the opera lovers. italy is beginning another act in its covid story, but the unity felt last year is fading. mark lowen, bbc news, verona. mark lowen is in verona. it's it�*s a beautiful blue sky here in verona which is making the ancient roman amphitheatre sparkle in the morning sunshine. it is one of the venues having to adapt to this change but plenty other venues, cinemas, theatres gymnasiums, sports clubs and restaurants and cafe is with indoor seating. the fine for failing to present the green pass and sitting inside for a customer is 400 euros and the fine for a venue that will allow customers and without presenting it would be possibly closure of up to ten days. let�*s find out what the staff here think. jimmy is a waiter. how do you feel about the green pass, do you feel about the green pass, do you

greece has been plunged into an unprecedented environmental crisis — according to the country's prime minister. days of heatwaves have turned the country into a powder keg — and he predicts the worst is yet to come with strong westerly winds expected to fan the flames. as mark lobel reports, villagers are coming under pressure to abandon their homes. as villages like these in the peloponnese burn, the greek prime minister is urging extreme caution. houses can be rebuilt, he says, trees can regrow, however human life cannot be replaced. but abandoning your home is never easy in your 70s. translation: leave and go where, and let my house burn? _ if we had left, this place would have burned. we told the women and elderly and kids to go, and whoever was able stay to help, however they could. crops are at risk, too. so far, 6,000 hectares of [and have

burned in three days of wildfires, over half of last yea r�*s total. translation: the agricultural wealth of the village has been decimated. - nothing is left. olive trees, sheep, goats, stables, everything. westward winds have blown new life into these fires north of athens. with temperatures well over a0 celsius, the past week has been greece's worst heatwave since the late �*80s. with fires continuing to spread, local politicians have denounced a lack of resources. the army is doubling its efforts, but is our changing environment to blame? climate change is producing hotter temperatures, and making droughts more frequent, conditions that can fuel wildfires. translation: we have a debt. to shield the country against the

reality of climate change. i'm not looking for excuses. we have made important strides in organising the country, but these are not enough when you're faced with a phenomenon of such magnitude. for those that believe such talk is merely a smokescreen, the pm invites them to visit the fires for themselves. fires now spreading across southern europe, where many including spaniards, turks, italians, albanians, and north macedonians are also asking, just what is behind this summer heatwave that's causing familiar seasonal fires to act in such extreme ways? mark lobel, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. lots of showers across the uk today

and over the next few days. there will only be a few places to stay dry. the driest today southern england and the home counties. southern scotland more persistent rain that central southern scotland and northern ireland and northern england we could see with lighter winds showers possessed. some torrential and risk of thunder. nice in the sunshine but in the show as it will feel cool for the stage of august. overnight that low centres across scotland and showers will continue to revolve around it. most frequent hit overnight parts of england and wales and northern ireland. not too chilly night start to saturday but on saturday we must do it all again. showers in different areas and one of two places will stay dry but most will see showers at some point. right today and northern parts of scotland but southern scotland and northern england and northern ireland see the heaviest once again.

i'm lucy hockings in tokyo — where it's day fourteen of the olympics — the headlines: in the velodrome, laura kenny could become the first british woman to win gold at three olympic games and a third successive hockey medal for great brtain�*s women — as they beat india 14—3. argentina will play the netherlands in the final. and in today's other news...... energy bills for millions of households across the uk are to go up this winter. the energy watchdog says the increase is needed because of rising wholesale prices. because we have seen a record increase in fossil fuel prices, not

just gas and electricity but also petrol and diesel we have fed that
